Subject: kasan, slub: fix more conflicts with CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_HARDENED

When CONFIG_KASAN_SW_TAGS is enabled, ptr_addr might be tagged.  Normally,
this doesn't cause any issues, as both set_freepointer() and
get_freepointer() are called with a pointer with the same tag.  However,
there are some issues with CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG code.  For example, when
__free_slub() iterates over objects in a cache, it passes untagged
pointers to check_object().  check_object() in turns calls
get_freepointer() with an untagged pointer, which causes the freepointer
to be restored incorrectly.

Add kasan_reset_tag to freelist_ptr(). Also add a detailed comment.
